Usage

Setup for modules

Add Share to your module palette

Add {share_legend},addShare; to your model default palette.

Example:

$dca = &$GLOBALS['TL_DCA']['tl_module'];
$dca['palettes']['newsreader'] = str_replace(
    '{image_legend',
    '{share_legend},addShare;{image_legend',
    $dca['palettes']['newsreader']
);

Generate share output

To show the share buttons in your module, you need to add the return of Settings->generate() to your template.

Example:

// Module class: 

public function compile()
{
    ...
    $this->generateShare();
    ...
}

protected function generateShare()
{
    if ($this->addShare)
    {
        $objShare = new \HeimrichHannot\Share\Share($this->objModel, [Entity to print]);

        $this->template->share = $objShare->generate();
    }
    return null;
}

// Template file:

<?= $this->share ?>

Add Share urls to your template

// Add this to the generateShare method from above, after calling generate():
if ($this->module->share_addTemplateLinks)
{
    $this->template->shareUrls = $objShare->generateShareUrls();
}

This will add an array to the template with following key containing just the urls:

• mailto
• facebook
• twitter
• linkedin
• whatsapp

Setup for articles

Since version 1.5 you can also print complete articles.

1. Setup a new model, which has share enabled (=has addShare added to the module palette, the module type doesn't matter). This module will hold the settings for the article.

2. Check "Add Syndication" on the article settings page and choose the module setup before.

3. Echo $this->share in your article template.

Custom name for your pdf files

Your module has to implement ModulePdfReaderInterface. The return-value of getFileName() is used as pdf file name. Don't add .pdf, it will be added by the module itself.

Print page

To address your custom module print layout, the url must contain the print parameter with the module id as value. (Example: ?print=57). The default print link will do that for you and will create a new tab/window and close it immediately after the window was printed by the user. To debug the print layout, add the pDebug=1 parameter to your print url (Example: ?print=57&pDebug=1).

For regions within your templates that should not be printable, add <!-- print::stop --> before that region and <!-- print::continue --> afterwards.

<!-- print::stop -->
DO NOT PRINT THIS!
<!-- print::continue -->

It is also possible to simple call the browser print windows to print the complete page by checking 'printWithoutTemplate' withing the syndication selection in module settings.
